G SLAYDEN URGED TO GIVE UP TO MEIGS Tacoma Candidate for Speak er Insists, However, He Is Already Victor. RUTH - IS CLAIMING CINCH Declares He Is Without Opposition, Except Desire of Governor Hay to Have Man of Own Choice' in President's Chair. SEATTLE, Wash. .June 14. (Special.) In sptte of the fact that J. w. Slayden professes to have a clear majority of two votes for the Speakership of the next Legislature, it is known here tonight that Mr. Slayden's particular friends have urged him to withdraw from the contest and leave the field open to L. O. Meigs, of North Yakima. This conclusion has been reached by reason of the fact that it Is intended that the special session of the Legislature shall be as short as pos sible. However. Mr. Slayden is not in-clined-to admit his defeat, and says: ' "Reorganization of the House at the extra session will not take more than a few minutes." Slayden Is Confident. Slayden arrived in ' the ci;y this morning from Tacoma and is. a guest of the Hotel Arlington. His mission, he said, had no political significance, his presence here today being explained by the fact that he was- down for a speech on the programme of exercises at the unveiling of the statue of Wash ington at the exposition. "The objection has been raised that reorganization will take too long." continued Slayden. "In the first place, I firmly believe it is absolutely incum bent to reorganize. Governor Hay or anybody else to the contrary notwith standing. "I am confident I will be elected. Enough members of the House have promised me their votes to guarantee that." Rath Has Cinch, He Says. Slayden during the past few days has been working in the Interests of his condidacy in Whatcom, Skagit and Snohomish counties. His supporters claim those counties, with the excep tion of two or three votes. Senator A. S. Euth, of Olympia, also Is a guest of the Hotel Arlington. The efforts of Governor Hay to prevail on some members of the Senate to contest his return to the presidency of that body amuse him. "I have what is technically known as a cinch." said Senator Ruth this morn ing. "So far the Governor seems to have failed to Induce anybody to come out against tne. For that matter, I don't care whether I am returned to the chair or not, and have consequently asked no member to vote for me. Governor Hay, should he follow out his programme and get the Legislature to appropriate a large sum to finance the continuance of the in vestigating committee for . two years, would like to be able to dictate the ap pointment of the two Senators who win be members of such a committee. That explains why he thinks reorganization in the. House to be a waste of time end in the Senate a crying necessity."

Turfee is charged with hav ing deceived Deputy Sheriffs Saturday, when they were searching for Greenman by giving out the false information that Greenman, shot in both shoulders and suffering greatly from his wounds, called at Turfee's cabin Friday night and had his wounds dressed.

"I have just come over the Pacific Coast extension." said President Earling tonight, "and I am satisfied with the road. It will speak for itself within a fortnight.
